How does TheraSlim work?
During the digestive process, the body converts complex carbohydrates, found in starchy foods such as breads, potatoes, pasta, and rice, into sugar. This is accomplished by breaking down the carbohydrate molecule with alpha amylase, an enzyme produced in the pancreas and, to a lesser extent, in the saliva. The resultant sugar molecules are either burned off through exercise, or stored as fat for future use. Unfortunately, inactivity means that the stored fat accumulates over time. The result is weight gain. The active ingredient in TheraSlim neutralizes the digestive enzyme alpha amylase before it can convert starch into sugar and then into fat. Essentially, it allows carbohydrates to pass unchanged through the digestive tract, thus reducing the amount of calories absorbed from this source.
